het gaat over vaten waarin gevaarlijk afval verpakt wordt
De nettogewichten van de 400 l vaten (zonder vat, zonder betonmantel, zonder metaalwand 200 l galetten), dus de actieve inhoud.
(misschien een vernederlandsing van FR galet: wiel/rol??)

Note from asker:
| thanks for your quick reply and excellent reference... I think the right translation might be 'without the metal sheeting of the 200-l discs' (referring to 200-l drums compressed into discs which are stored inside the 400-l drums) - this seems to make sense in the context... |
